Compliance inspection system and method. The compliance inspection system includes an interface for at least communicating an inspection assignment to an inspector, wherein the inspection assignment includes an inspection location indicting where an inspection is to occur and for receiving location data related to the inspector. The compliance inspection system also includes a processor executing instructions stored on a memory to analyze the received location data related to the inspector, verify the inspector is at the inspection location based on the analysis of the received location data, and receive inspection documentation related to the inspection from the inspector.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor verifies that the inspector is at the location of the asset by determining that the inspector is within a prescribed distance from the location of the asset.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the inspection assignment is communicated as a dynamic map of a facility that includes an indicium to indicate the location of the asset and to present the location data in real time.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the inspection assignment is presented to the inspector as a form specific to the inspection assignment and satisfies one or more equipment regulatory requirements.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the location data is received via a global navigation satellite system.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the interface is further configured to receive a modification to the inspection assignment from the inspector.
8. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to communicate the received inspection documentation to a remote storage for later retrieval.
9. The system of claim 1 wherein the received inspection documentation includes imagery of the location of the asset.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein verifying that the inspector is at the location of the asset includes determining that the inspector is within a prescribed distance from the location of the asset.
13. The method of claim 10 wherein the inspection assignment is communicated as a dynamic map of a facility that includes an indicium to indicate the location of the asset and to present the location data in real time.
14. The method of claim 10 wherein the inspection assignment is presented to the inspector as a form specific to the inspection assignment and satisfies one or more equipment regulatory requirements.
15. The method of claim 10 wherein receiving the location data related to the inspector includes receiving data from a global navigation satellite system.
16. The method of claim 10 further comprising receiving at the interface a modification to the inspection assignment from the inspector.
17. The method of claim 10 further comprising communicating the received inspection documentation to a remote storage for later retrieval.
18. The method of claim 10 wherein the received inspection documentation includes imagery of the location of the asset.
